This year I decided to take part in Stitching Santa, a secret Santa for sewing bloggers organised by Sewchet. It was great fun having a nosy round someone else’s blog, working out what they would like for Christmas. It was equally a funny feeling to know someone else was having a nosy round my blog for the same reason…
My parcel arrived a couple of weeks ago and has been sat under our Christmas tree tempting me, I have to confess to the occasional squidge π
Well today I could finally open it! My Stitching Santa has chosen to stay anonymous but I want to say a huge thank you to my secret Santa, my present is gorgeous!
In my parcel was a lovely length of fabric, it’s furnishing weight and I am very tempted to make an overnight bag from it. It’s a wonderful design with colourful birds, flowers and leaves, I think it will look great, maybe with some leather handles in one of the flower colours and a contrasting zip, I can picture it now…
There was a co-ordinating length of green spotty bias binding which I can use as a trim on my bag!
In my parcel was also two pretty pencils from the Tate Modern art gallery, which makes me think my secret Santa has a secret camera inΒ my sewing room, never mind my blog, as I’m always searching for pencils!! Hopefully these will stay in my sewing room pencil pot ready for any tracing π
So to my Secret Santa…
Thank you for a wonderful present π
Ooh what a gorgeous present. Lucky lady and Happy Christmas.

Happy Christmas Margaret π looking forwarding to seeing you bag, love the coordinating bias binding, it’ll look fab!
I’m impressed you’ve found time to write a post, I’ve watched 3 films but been doing some knitting, otherwise I’d have withdrawal symptoms from my crafty ways! x
